The Contortionist Confirms Last Chance To Reason’s Mike Lessard as New Vocalist

by | Jun 21, 2013

The Contortionist announced Mike Lessard of Last Chance To Reason as their permanent vocalist.

Lessard had been filling in for the band since March, when former vocalist Jonathan Carpenter quit after learning he’s expecting his first child.

“We’re very excited about this announcement,” says Guitarist Robby Bacca. “The run of dates we did with him as a fill-in were a much needed breath of fresh air. He brings to the table all kinds of new dynamics that will help fuel the progression of the band’s sound onto the next record and onward.”

The band will support Between The Buried And Me on tour this fall.
